Hacklemesh Weaver (Callobius severus)
This rather large, a little over 2cm across, was inhabiting our wood shed. It is sometimes referred to as a Hacklemesh Weaver. It definitely preferred the dark rather than the light crawling under the piece of wood rather than staying on the top. I believe this might be a female because of the extended abdomen and the small palps.

''Callobius severus'' is a species of spider found in parts of the United States and Canada. Individuals reach roughly 19 mm in size, with males typically appearing smaller than females.
